Podocyturia: A Clue for the Rational Use of Amiloride in Alport Renal Disease by H. Trimarchi, R. Canzonieri, A. Muryan, A. Schiel, A. Araoz, M. Paulero, J. Andrews, T. Rengel, M. Forrester, F. Lombi, V. Pomeranz, R. Iriarte, E. Zotta

“…Microhematuria and subsequently proteinuria are hallmarks of kidney involvement, which are due to primary basement membrane alterations that mainly cause endothelial thrombosis and podocyte contraction and ulterior irreversible detachment. Commonly drug-based approaches include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which are employed to reduce proteinuria and thus retard kidney disease progression and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. …”

Legal nature of spontaneous construction as a complex category: questions of theory and practice by V. I. Teremetskyi, S. A. Maliar

“…The article is devoted to the problems of spontaneous construction in comparing the public interest in ensuring the sustainability of civil turnover, the introduction of as much property as possible through the elimination of certain defective legal regimes, as well as private interests of landowners, developers and some other participants in civil turnover (customers, contractors, equity investors, etc.). The approach to defining the essence of unauthorized construction as a way to acquire ownership of certain real estate, which has certain defects in the identification process, as well as in terms of behavioral and object perception of this legal phenomenon is determined. …”
